The entire novel is already written. Blurb: Shen Ci was the cherished daughter of a family of generals, born to wealth and privilege. One day, she helped the man she loved claim the throne, bringing ruin upon her entire family. She herself fell from a cliff and died. After transmigrating back to the capital, she finds that everything has changed. Her beauty is gone, her family has fallen, and the man she once loved has married someone else. Meanwhile, her enemy, Xie Lan, the treacherous official who orchestrated her family's downfall and won the allegiance of the entire court, has risen to the highest position in the government. He's returned victorious from battle, surrounded by admirers and beautiful flowers, and enjoys the emperor's favor and a life free of worry. How could Shen Ci accept this?! She watches her enemy sit right beside her, wishing she could kill him on the spot. Then Xie Lan, who holds the power of life and death in his hands, plucks a red plum blossom for her and asks, "My dear, are you married?" So Shen Ci gives her former enemy a pitiful, delicate smile. She pretends to be lovable and vulnerable as she poisons Xie Lan, sows discord between him and the prince of a neighboring kingdom, and schemes to expose his true nature in public. Yet Xie Lan remains unmoved. He doesn't even glance at the "white moonlight" lookalike Shen Ci carefully picked for him. Instead, his dark, cool eyes, sharp as an eagle's, stay fixed on her, as if indulging her... Shen Ci gradually finds Xie Lan impossible to understand. It isn't until the truth of that year comes to light that she realizes she was used and deceived. Caught up in a struggle and trapped in a desperate situation, she is protected by Xie Lan again and again. He braves the snow to seek plum blossoms for her, races through the night for a thousand miles, saves her from enemy encirclement, and defies the world, shouldering its condemnation so she can kill her true enemy with her own hands. Then he places the empress's seal in front of her. - Just like now. + Shen Ci wakes in the middle of the night, suddenly unable to tell what day or year it is.
